I personally think it doesn't go as well with the MDX. MDX conveys class and luxury. The lights suggest more "I've got a Civic, therefore I have to make it different from the other Civics..." I was just suggesting it as an alternative to a lit running boards. But I know what you mean, those neon lights, including on the license plate and windshield washers are really cool looking. I think it comes down to personal taste.
